LEGO® Creator Fierce Dinosaur (31379)

Stomp your way back to prehistoric times with this 3in1 set that features three separate dinosaur builds with a single set of bricks.

Next, we’re journeying deep into the uncharted rainforest to discover three adorable LEGO animals in one set! Start with the cute turtle that chews on a pink water lily flower, then rebuild into a colorful chameleon that can twist its tail and, finally, a friendly frog that sits on the riverbank. Animal-loving kids will love the possibilities contained in this set and will have lots of fun roleplaying adventures in the rainforest.

LEGO® Friends Horse & Baby Foal Trailer (42695)

Those that love animals a little closer to home can join Autumn and Matilde as they care for a horse and its adorable foal. There are lots of stories to be told with this set.
